Is the Lune Gorge on the ECML?

Not sure the 67 runs from Swansea anyway - you should check the 67 page on facebook - and it's sometimes not a 67 at all!

Sorry - what I meant to say - what do peeps think is a good idea for a Sunday on an all-line?

Thanks folks - much appreciated.

Also thinking about the All Line - what do people think are good ideas for a day which a bit bleak? 1. Scotrail HSTs 2. Manchester - Cardiff - Manchester on 67 3. Brum - Marylebone 68 and then possibly some 91 action out of the cross 4. Far north line - 320 miles on a 158!

Is there any difference between which direction you go in terms of the experience? I haven't done it for years and then it was Leeds>Carlisle. Thanks for any gen

Thats a great idea - the only issue is the Jacobite only does returns I thought?

I'm a 60 year bloke and am planning on doing this as well ( when it's warmer ). I also plan to do the Scottish Sleeper to FW, unit to Mallaig, boat to Skye, bus to Lylelekin over the bridge to Kyle of Lochalsh then another unto to Inverness - just for the fun of it and the fact the first I did...

So I'm guessing that they are also hoping that Euston - Milton Keynes and Nuneaton which will be non-stop will get some traffic, as well as the outer Wolves conurbation. The Wrexham / Shrewsbury / telford gives them the novelty value rather than generating huge volumes of traffic - except when...

Taxi!

I did an all line in 1981 peak bashing and did 8700 miles - on just 46's alone - there was also a fair few 45 &45/1 , duff & hst miles. I've got some records of the 45/1s but the others are lost

Surely better use of stock will save money by not limiting it to one particular franchise? Why not get 800s running ECML, NE/SW and GWR?

I was looking for something similar - and its the planning aspect that I'm looking for - I did do something a while back in excel, but the drawback is that it is not linked to any on-line services:

Is there an up-to-date list or facebookpage that has status of remaining Class 91s and workings? Thanks

Thanks folks - all great contributions!

Anyone know of a decent pub on the line? Thanks

14 hours!

odd question on a rail forum! National Express do a Penzance to Birmingham and the Edinburgh. Stagecoach then probably do scotland - local from Lans End to Penzance

Yes, thats definitely a good option ( although I think you still have to reserve a seat ).

Yes, but if I don't get kicked off and can stay in the warm that will do!
